Match status: ENGLAND: Premier League - Round 28

Kick-off: Wednesday' 26 Apr 2017, 08:00pm GMT

Venue: "Selhurst Park" in London, England

Rationale behind the tips

After Xavi's dismissal and significant play decline of Andreas Iniesta, Barcelona began to feel unconvincing in attack execution. So now, the Spurs leader Cristian Eriksen is being under the radars to move over to Spain as a playmaker in Barca's first squad.

The matter of the Dutch's transfer to the Camp Nou will finally be decided at the end of May, right after the end of the calendar season. And now the team of Mauricio Pochettino continues their championship race for the sole leader of the Premier League:

As we see, with an equal number of remaining games, the Spurs yield four points to The Aristocrats. Undoubtedly, in this situation, the London club from White Hart Lane counts on the possible misfire of the leader at least in two of the six remaining matches.

But after all, in this title race, Tottenham themselves must not lose points. Just to remind, starting from February 26, the Spurs' current winning run has had seven matches in a row.

However, now Mauricio Pochettino's squad has to prove their champion ambitions in an away match against a quite tough side. And, although Crystal Palace is not even close to the group of match favourites, but three recent victories over Chelsea (2:1), Arsenal (3:0), and Liverpool (2:1) indicate a high professional level of "The Red and Blue".

Crystal Palace - Tottenham Head-to-Head Stats:

The first round encounter between these sides dated on 20 August 2016 - the round 2 of the 2016/17 culminating season - and finished 1-0 for the hosts when they met at "White Hart Lane". Before that, they had been very tough to each other as there were 10 games played in all, where 3 of them favour Crystal Palace wins, the one and only draw 1-1 back in 2014, and Tottenham winning over for 6 times, scoring as many as 13 goals in all games against Crystal Palace while "The Eagles" hit the net of "The Spurs" 8 times.

Conclusion and Match Preview:

Moreover, the paradox of the situation is that the team of Sam Allardyce already lacks a factor of transcendent motivation. This London club walked out the relegation zone long ago and now occupies a fairly neutral twelfth place.

Nevertheless, spoiling the nerves of the Tottenham fans at the time, besides at their "Selhurst Park" arena, is something that "The Eagles" are more that capable of. Undoubtedly, experts have named the favourite of the match is one of the championship race leaders. But here, in our opinion, it is more rational to play against the favourite.
